Choi's proof as a recipe for quantum process tomography
Abstract
Quantum process tomography is a procedure by which an unknown quantum operation can be fully experimentally characterized. We reinterpret Choi's proof [Linear Algebr. Appl. 10, 285 (1975)] of the fact that any completely positive linear map has a Kraus representation as a method for quantum process tomography. The analysis for obtaining the Kraus operators is extremely simple. We discuss the systems in which this tomography method is particularly suitable. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.
